Ingredients

  • 6 slider buns
  • 8 oz seitan
  • ½ batch BBQ Sauce
  • ¼ cup white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Red Cabbage Coleslaw

  • ½ cup red cabbage, shredde
  • 2 tablespoon carrots, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • pinch of salt

BBQ Aioli

Instructions

  • Prepare the BBQ Sauce according to these directions. Transfer to a shallow dish and set aside.
  • With your fingers or a fork, shred the seitan into strips and place in the BBQ sauce so that it is completely submerged. Refrigerate seitan for at least 2 hours. While seitan is marinating, prepare the red cabbage slaw and bbq aioli. 
  • For the Red Cabbage Slaw:  Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the BBQ Aioli: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Once seitan is properly marinated, heat olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet. Add onions and sauté until translucent - about 10 minutes. Add seitan, with the BBQ sauce, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, until seitan is tender and heated all the way through.
  • To assemble the sliders, spread BBQ Aioli on the bottoms of each buns. Top with a heaping scoop of the seitan/onion mixture and finish with a spoonful of red cabbage slaw. Top each slider and eat immediately!
